Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

I bought a 3/4 gallon can and have used it for last one year. I do see many reviews here that say it does not work on many insects but my experience has been that it has worked as I had expected. In Arizona where I live there are mainly crickets, roaches and scorpions in the yard that I am trying to get rid of. I apply 5 gallon (1oz/gallon of this product) every month to my outside perimeter (Approx. 250 ft). I have seen bunch of dead Scorpions, Roaches and Crickets. Yes, there are few roaming around but I find them mostly dead the next day. I have had very good luck controlling Scorpions with this product. One more thing to note that during the summer, I rotate one application with Cy-Kick in May and August. This seams to work even better on the critters. But Cy-Kick is quite more expensive then this one. So I would suggest get a 96oz Talstar and 16 oz Cy-Kick ~$80($40+$40) and you are done for year and half. That is quite some deal doing it yourself. Lastly, this site is just great with lots of information and FAQ's for first timer. Good work!

Worked great inside and outside the house. Killed insects on contact. My biggest concern was mosquitoes. Talstar P decimated the mosquitoe population around my house and kept the mosquitoes away from the yard back and front and side. Bonus all the other insects like spiders, moths etc all disappeared too. As other reviewers have stated that depending how much it rains and temprature variations the outside has to be treated monthly in my case, I live in Houston TX. Please dont use it against me ;) I love the place been here more than 20 years. Now its even better with all the pesky insects eliminated. I followed instructions from the manufacturer and also used some advice from reviewers of this product like using dish washing liquid. I am very happy with my purchase and am saving $300 annually by doing my own pest control.

I fired my pest control company and used this inside my home and overnight I say dead pests all over the place. What was the pest control technician using? water? Anyway, I also sprayed around the foundation of my home and saw spiders running like crazy. It looked like the grass was crawling! The next day, dead spiders around the house. The next week, no more spiders! I bought this because of the spider problem and after killing a brown recluse hanging on the foundation! This stuff rocks!

I had an extreme tick problem in my house. One of my dogs were infested with them also. I contacted a local exterminator who I have used for years. They came out and said it would cost $1800.00 they would have to come 3 times, I would have to be out of the house for atleast 8 hours and best of all they could not promise it would work. So I contacted my vet and she told me to find a product that had Talstar in it. I have used this product with total success and I have a happy home environment again. My dog was treated by an awesome groomer and we can report we are tick free. I have told my exterminator, that I can do my own yard and house now. I have shared your company with local pet shelters and rescue groups. Thank you

I give this product top rating. I Live in south Florida, where we have lots of bugs in the summer. I have been putting Talstar around the outside of my house as a barrier for ants, palmetto, (giant roaches) and various other insects that I don't want in my house. I have been using Talstar once a month for about 5 years. And I haven't had a bug problem in my house since. About 3 years ago south Florida started to get infested by white fly on our ficus hedge and Spiral White fly on various tropical plants. I have been spraying talstar on those plants and my lawn and I have not had a White fly problem since. That's why I gave it *****. The price for 3/4 gallon @ Do My Own Pest Control is terrific. At my local do it yourself pest control store it cost $110 a quart.

My house is behind a street drain and I had hundreds of sewer roaches in my house. YUCK. My neighbor is an exterminator and helped us out with some glue traps and sprayed the perimeter of my house. The glue traps filled up in a week but many were still getting in the house. I got some Telstar P, a sprayer and some more glue traps. The first time I sprayed my entire lawn and perimeter we had many dead bugs on our driveway and back patio. A few weeks later we saw baby bugs in the house and sprayed again. After that the glue traps stayed mostly empty and we had zero indoor bugs. My neighbor was amazed for the cost of two exterminator visits I had coverage for years to come.

A friend moved his trailer from my property and left the area congested with fleas. I tried other products but none helped. After 2 applications of Talstar P, ten days apart, all the fleas, and all other bugs, are gone. It worked great. Will be using it from now on.

This was purchased primarily to provide long-term control of Florida mosquitoes along with having a lasting general pest control application. I can that within hours of applying this product, you could already see numerous pests dead from places that would not be expected! For general control, this product is amazing. For the mosquitoes, the process will take some time but from what I've seen so far, it is working.

Great for killing those pesky tiny little ants that you can't seem to keep out of your house or worse the kitchen. This spray stops them cold. Last year I sprayed 2x early & late last summer. The products that I had bought at Walmart don't seem to work even for a day, this product does.

I have now sprayed my house top to bottom twice. I had oriental roaches, ants, wasps, pillbugs, and beetles when I moved in. After following the instructions the first time I noticed that the pillbugs and wasps were gone, but still had issues with the others. 2 weeks later I sprayed again, and I was still seeing the roaches, ants and beetles. I finally went and bought a raid fogger and already noticed a significant difference.

Waterbugs...dead. Ants...gone. Carpenter bees...dead. This stuff is amazing. Two days to get rid of water bugs. One hour after spraying carpenter bee holes I found five dead on the ground. You can't beat the value or the results. Follow the label and you'll save yourself a lot of exterminator bills!

When I bought this on sale I wondered if it would do the job of a professional service. I have been using this for the past 4 years or more and I can say with each time of the application, it is great. My wife hates to see any bugs and Talstar P does the job of keeping my wife happy. What more can a man say. Happy wife, Happy life.

This product works good for killing and preventing fire ants and roaches which are very prevalent in Florida. It does a fair job killing chinch bugs and usually requires 2 or 3 applications to get rid of them completely. The product seems to be safe at the recommended concentrations. We have experienced no ill effects.

Good product. No residual odor. Sprayed two bathroom where we get very small black ants. Works well but I still see an occasional straggler. I will see how it works long term.

Did not have the success in mosquito control that we had before but it is a exceptional year for mosquitoes too. In the past we were very happy with this product. We will give it the benefit of a doubt because it is an exceptional year for mosquitoes and continue to use it.

I injected Talstar P in fire ant mounds and applied surface treatment. After one application, I have zero indication that the ants being present or movement of the mound to a new site. I call it a successful application.

Bought Talstar P to control horrendous fly problem. It certainly does work. It is still killing flies & BIG spiders 2 weeks later. Lots of other unwanted pests are dropping dead also. No odor is a plus.

Before using Talstar we could not let our grandchildren play in the yard. The mosquitos were terrible! Now everyone enjoys the outside. This product works fantastic even after torrid rains after spraying. We gave some to our neighbor who sprayed before a July 4th party. He got rave reviews for the mosquito free yard. Now he's ordered his own.

Will kill mosquitoes, carpenter ants, sweet ants. diminishes colony but needs to be applied several times. I spray on evergreens, hollyhocks, and I can say that the Hollyhocks never looked so good. Had friend purchase product for her cottage. Sprayed one day and the next carpenter ants were laying dead next to spray area.

I use this product for a 'bug free' environment. I spray according to directions 2 times a year and have had GREAT results with it. Do not have to always be cleaning spider webs or fighting ants, bugs. They are not in or around my home with this product. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product

I have used this product for years in and around my homes in Southern California. I spray every few months for ants, caterpillars, crickets and flies. It is one of the best products on the market that I know of. Buying from "Do My Own Pest Control" has always been a positive experience as well. If I have a question all I need do is call or email them. I always get a rapid response. Kudos to this company and this product!
